Automatic Hold

The concept

This system assists the driver by automatically
setting and releasing the parking brake, such as
when moving in stop-and-go traffic.
The vehicle is automatically held in place when
it is stationary.
On inclines, the system prevents the vehicle
from rolling backward when driving away.

For your safety

Automatic Hold is deactivated automatically and
the parking brake is set when:

The engine is switched off.

A door is opened and the driver's safety belt
is unbuckled.

The vehicle is braked to a standstill with the
parking brake while driving.
